That’s one of the biggest questions, not just in the foundations of physics, but in all of science. According to a new paper, the answer may be a quasicrystal, an idea from researchers working on quantum gravity. This video explores the implications of this idea, touching on concepts like String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity, to understand what it might mean for theoretical physics.
